fair-pale skin, leptorrhine (thin) noses and straight hair. The Dravidians have broad noses, curlywavy
hair and dark-black skin. They are related to the Africans [ Winters* ]. [ Risley ].

3. Literary evidence
3.1 Sanskrit Literature
References abound to an Aryan invasion in Sanskrit literature.
The ancient singer praises the god who "destroyed the Dasyans and protected the Aryan colour."
[Rg.V. III.34.9 ] [ Ann. 114 ]
and "the thunderer who bestowed on his white friends the fields, bestowed the sun, bestowed the
waters." [ Rg.V. I.100.18 ] [ Ann. 114 ]
Numerous are the references to "the black skin" `Krishnam Vacham' [ Rg.V. IX.41.1, Sama Veda
I.491, II.242 ] [ Ann. 114 ] which is mentioned with abhorrence.
Again " stromy gods who rush on like furious bulls and scatter the black skin." [ Rg.V. IX.73.5 ]
The singers mention "the black skin, the hated of Indra", being swept ourtof heaven [ RgV. IX.73.5 ]
"Indra protected in battle the Aryan worshipper, he subdued the lawless for Manu, he conqured the
black skin." [ Rg.V. I.130.8 ] [ Ann.114 ]
The sacrificer poured out thanks to his god for "scattering the slave bands of black descent", and for
stamping out " the vile Dasyan colour." [ Rg.V. II.20.7, II.12.4 ] [ ANn. 115 ]
"Dasam varnam adharam" [ Rg.V. II.12.4 ]
[ Muir part I, p.43, II, p.284, 323 etc. ] [ Ann. 114 ff ]
Rakshas are aboriginals
- Ravana = Rakshasendra [ Ann. 111 ]
- Rakshas = Ceylon aborigines
Romila Thapar in Early India states:
The connections between Iran and North India on the other hand are close. The language of the
Avesta and Indo-Aryan were cognates, descended from the same ancestral language. The date of
the Avesta - the text of Zoroastrianism - has been controversial, but a mid-second millennium date
is now being accepted. Tge linguistic relationshio between the two includes not just words but also
concepts. The interchangeability between “h” amd “s” is one of the differences, but there is a
consistency in this change such as haoma, daha, hepta hindu, Ahura in Avestan, and soma, dasa,
sapta sindhu, asura in Rig-Vedic Sanskrit. In terms of religious concepts the attributes of gods are
often reversed. Thus indra is demonic in the Avesta, as are the dae(devas or gods in Sanskrit)
and Ahura/asura emerges as the highest deity. This has led to the theory that originally the Old
Iranian and Indo-Aryan speakers were a single group but dissensions led to their splitting up. It
was then that the Indo-Aryan speakers living in the Indo-Iranian borderlands and the Haraxvati
(Saraswati) are of Afghanistan gradually migrated to the indus plain, bringing with them their
language, rituals and social custons, to settle as agro-pastoralists in the sapta-sindhu.”
